<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I’m making figures of a protein structure that has 4 residues missing in a flexible region. When I show the atoms as “style stick”, I can see a dashed pseudo bond between the two residues that connect the missing
segment. However, when I “show cartoons” of the same structure, the dashed line disappears and the pseudo bond is no longer visible. Would you have any suggestions on what to change to make the missing structure appear as a dashed line when the model is shown
in cartoon style? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Of interest, in a similar structure where 3 instead of 4 residues are missing, the dashed line is in fact shown when the model is shown in cartoon style. In addition, in regular Chimera the dashed line that represents
the 4 missing residues remains visible in cartoon style.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
